6-9-2026 Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram We do not believe the Central Bank of Iraq will relinquish control of the Iraqi dinar and allow the currency to float on the open market. Hopefully we are wrong. Iraq could do what Saddam did and raise the rate against the US dollar. But if the rate is not accepted by the global markets we would have to travel to realize our profits. Economists say this scenario is highly unlikely. Economists also say the United States’ intervention into helping the Iraqi dinar adjust to a higher rate against the dollar is also unlikely. The way the world is going, we do not know what to expect.
6-9-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 If you have the formation of the government then a lot of things become active, a lot of things are implemented. There’s a domino effect that’s going to occur. The opening of the budget is going to take us straight to what we want right away, the HCL, because it needs a new exchange rate…The HCL is #1…
6-9-2026 Intel Guru Reset Intelligence There is no economic case for the dinar at 1,300. You do not harden a currency at the printing press. You harden it in the vault, and that is where this one is being made strong. $97 billion in reserves. A record 162 tons of gold. The floor is a political decision, not an economic one.
6-9-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff They’re saying that over time they’ve been printing new dinar and over time they’re printed way too much. They’re saying over time their MO figures are way too high. They have too much dinar in circulation which is going to devalue the dinar, raise their inflation. When your inflation is up you don’t want to be deleting zeros and increase the exchange rate when your inflation is going up…
6-9-2026 Newshound Guru Thom Iraq’s Prime Minister told international oil companies to restart operations in the Kurdistan Region immediately. The oil companies said no. They’re refusing to go back to work until they have guaranteed protection. The Prime Minister made a promise. The industry isn’t moving until that promise has teeth…Kurdistan’s cabinet is meeting Wednesday to work through unresolved issues with Baghdad…oil revenue sharing, customs disputes, and how the money gets divided…the Strait of Hormuz shipping crisis has cut into Iraq’s oil revenue badly enough that Baghdad is now accepting less money from Kurdistan than the original agreement required. The pieces are moving.
6-9-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article quote: “Saleh…stressed that ‘raising the value of the Iraqi dinar is not achieved through quick administrative decisions, but rather through a long-term reform process based on the stability of monetary and financial policies, diversification of national income sources, and strengthening confidence in the local currency,” noting that “the stability of the dinar remains a direct reflection of the stability of the macroeconomy and its ability to cope with local and international changes, which is what the government is working on through a package of measures to strengthen the value of the Iraqi dinar…’ ”
6-9-2026 Intel Guru Reset Intelligence The men who really ran Baghdad had no use for a stronger dinar because the cheap one was their living. Their skim is the gap between the official rate and the street. Sell them at the higher street rate and route much of the hard currency on to Iran. A strong dinar closes that gap and ends the racket…
6-9-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff There’s an upcoming US visit. They don’t have a date set. It just says official trip to Washington announced…They’re not going to give you a date…IMO he’s [PM Zaidi] coming here after the rate has changed, after Iraq has stability…
6-9-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat If you are so concerned about the budget for 2026 because you think the new RV rate is in it then you are WRONG, WRONG and WRONG… The RV rate we want is NOT stated in the budget tables nor will it ever be…The budget is based off of the price of oil per barrel not the rate of the dinar.
6-9-2026 Newshound Guru Ross Iraq is in a transition year due to the Iran War. New leadership. New cabinet. Reforms loading. Liquidity tightened. HCL and diversification from oil just became urgent. CBI isn’t bending. They’re enforcing their mandate and forcing real fiscal discipline. ...After 23 years of waiting, this is the fastest things have moved. IQD RV thesis is stronger than ever before.
